The ideal way to begin your study journey

Our hosts offer more than rooms for rent; they offer a support system and authentic interest in welcoming a student to New Zealand. Your homestay host will provide you with an orientation, teach you local customs, help you improve your English and encourage you to participate in activities.

Secure and welcoming hosts

Our goal is to provide international students with a safe, welcoming and culturally enriching homestay experience.

All hosts undergo training, police checks, an interview and home inspection to be part of the NZH community.

Value for money

Homestay is an excellent way to find your feet while you begin your studies and build the confidence to move to independent accommodation or share housing once you've settled in.

Our flexible packages only require a minimum 4 week stay with the option to extend - no long-term contracts, bond or lease required.
